Rt? That's crazy cheap. How much is fuel surcharges? Is the sale on their metal only? Do they charge fuel surcharges on all partners?

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Their online search doesnt allow for any searches on partner airlines even though their website says you should be able to. I've only found flights routed through IST. They do charge fuel surcharges. I don't think you have to go downtown to one of their offices. Months ago I tried booking through they're New York ticketing office and they said they can issue the ticket online without having to go down to the office.

Thanks, so nothing changed, I saw @yelped posted Marriott does not transfer to TK yet, I thought there were changes I am not aware of.

This offer is valid for only Turkish Airlines operated flights. Codeshare flights and flights on Star Alliance’s partners are no valid for this offer.

NYC-IST-TLV 65.8k TYP RT in J or 40k in Y

Doesn't seem to be pricing it like that online. Maybe only NYC-IST flights are discounted.

Checking NYC-TLV OW shows:



Also of note is that YQ depends on fare bucket. YQ on non-saver awards is higher.

Now I did. Didn't search too much to find saver space, but the standard isn't discounted.
